We're not doing any decoration really - we've got candles and place settings - because the venue holds it's own and I think we'll be going the opposite direction to do anything else to it.<br /><br />Sadly we don't have Medieval food, it is our big compromise area because we're aware that if we want the food we need a different venue and we couldn't beat what we have. We have a fairly modern wedding cake too (well a wedding cake is anyway) but we're trying to dress food and cake so it's sort of camouflaged.Claire Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814161836781593416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346141250381822215.post-5891534103161354022012-01-29T16:24:22.066+00:002012-01-29T16:24:22.066+00:00I think that planning a medieval wedding sort of a...I think that planning a medieval wedding sort of appeals to the do it yourself characters. There aren't as many shops to buy medieval wedding stuff from as for a classic wedding, and certainly no discount medieval shops :) <br />But it's a matter of being creative. Much like you we have a venue that doesn't need all the extra garnish to be medieval. It's not that expensive to get medieval food though. It's probably not the most wanted menus so they are rarely that expensive it seems. <br />If one is having the wedding in a "modern venue" the work and money put into creating a mood might grow. Still medieval is all about natural resources, things you find in the forest, so decorating can be very simple and something you can do yourself for free. Like pinecones, ivy, apples, moss and candles :)<br />We are on what I would call a medium budget. Most of the budget are dedicated to food and venue. :)Ceciliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127138490497478364noreply@blogger.com
